This planet is a very special place. For a number of reasons. One of them is chocolate. And the other is egg. They both make men weak and women swoon, especially if they are molten and runny. How many brown and yellow things can boast of that? We can't always buy a...
A slider is a term, which as a foodie you might have heard but would not have a concrete idea as to what it was. For those who know what it means, well; yayyy! You beat me to Google and Wikipedia in that precise order. A slider is a miniature burger or a very...
